Thank you very much 👍

My 2 hungry water turtles would eat through that in a few weeks

Just pump it into your neighbors pond. The one you don't like!

Wish I had a dime for every home depot bucket that's been repurposed.......

Watch out for larvae Goa'uld in the water Daniel Jackson!

I would tie some small floats to the sides so it doesnt sink completelly even when full, hole in the bottom small hole, pull wire trough, tie big rock at other end, adjust height and bend the wire inside the bucket, ofc some stronger wire.

If you put in a small fountain and pump to run it on the other end of the pond, the surface movement between the two running pumps would direct most of that duckweed to the skimmer bucket in a single afternoon.

I’m just a dumb engineer, but I’m an experienced fish keeper and I know that duckweed and other blooms happen because of the fertilizer that washed into this pond. Something else will need to grow to keep up on the supply of nitrates, nitrites, ammonia etc.

What was it like to figure out the code for the star gate

Please don't put "right height" and "bucket" in the same sentence, thanks. 🐴

I'd watch a 3-hour version of this 😅

It looks like a pile of dinosaur poop💩

Free fertilizer/mulch

So the important bit. How do you separate the weed from the water so the water can be returned to the pond?

Check out our channel. We have a quick remedy for ALL the duckweed! Thank you@redbloodedamerican for the shoutout. This herbicide works and zero fish kill. 200$ will clear a 3-4 acre pond in 5 days.

DIQUAT, ARGOS and FLUMIGARD will kill all the duckweed in 5 days. Watch Iowa Hobby Farm KZbin channel. It cleared the pond!

What exploded on the other side of the burm at 4:27

so you are trying to suck up the fastest growing plant in the world that can double in volume every 24 to 48 hours?....good luck with that.

Waterfowl experts say that wild ducks are the ones that spread duckweed, they go from pond to pond or lake and duckweed will be on their feet and belly and then when they go to another body of water it washes off but you are right that the nutrients in the water are what makes them reproduce like crazy.

Pool noodles to shim and concentrate duckweed.

You know it has more protein per once than soybeans.

Hi Daniel - Would you consider providing us permission to use some of your footage in one of our educational videos? Thanks, Kipp

Duckweed is a great nitrifying plant. It looks unsightly so totally understandable why you want it out. Would you ever consider stocking 1 common carp or koi? They would demolish that stuff off permanently

Ive done the same thing in my pond, with one difference... I made a big "push net" from the black nylon construction netting you see on the sides of the road during construction projects. Put floats on the top of the netting and weights on the bottom. Then you get a couple guys on each end to drag it through the pond and corral the duckweed to one corner. It makes sucking it out 10 times faster. Only other thing i can add is that your having the duckweed because there is a problem with your water. Order yourself a pondvwater test kit and see where the problem is. Then you can start to add things to your water to actually correct the problem so weeds dont grow at all. Good job and good luck.

Pretty nice setup! I'd suggest adding a skimmer top to your bucket so you can set the bucket an inch or two below the water and let the skimmer regulate the amount of water coming in, so your pump doesnt over-run the water. Like this... kzbin.infoHeuY4HItgLc

Can you tell me: dn of pump 50mm or 80 ( 2 inch or 3 inch)

Well done.

How much liquid do you end up with if you distill a standard bottle of wine (750ml)?

if you started with distilling an already made wine then you end up with a much higher proof alcohol, to make it into an easier to drink version similar to brandy, mix it back in with some of the wine that you have not yet distilled (which will make it into a port wine). this is not exactly brandy but it will produce a much smoother spirit than the high proof coming out of the still. optionally you may wish to add in a small amount of sugar or honey (which i preffer). the sugar will add sweetness alone and the honey will add sweetness plus make it taste a bit closer to mead or maybe a "mulled" wine.

Where do you get the still

What are the pipes made of... Wrong materials can kill you

Spirits distilled from wine is called Grapa (rhymes with papa). Grapa aged in oak barrels that once contained wine is called Brandy.

The reason why you call it "strong", is probably because you made no cuts, which btw is difficult with such a tiny still. Anything distilled out of fruits, is called Brandy. The sample you set on fire, has to be at least 50% (that will be 100 proof). Anything less, won't light. Also, the slight orange in the flame are all the impurities, due to the before mentioned cuts you didn't do. If you ever plan to drink any of that stuff, throw the foreshots at least and do never ever collect in a plastic container..! Collect in glassware, plastic WILL leach into your spirits. Btw...what about that gasket? If that's synthetic, throw it to hell and use flour paste. I've seen some comments on Methanol and you will go blind...that's bullshit! The amount is the same, regardless if it's in the wine you distill or in the final product. Obviously, you won't go blind from drinking a bottle of wine...that will be if you don't stumble and hit your head hard..that causes temporarily "blindness"...lol. However, if you throw the first stuff out (smells like nail polish remover)you're on the safe side and your product tastes a lot better. Use that tiny still to run some cider or similar, then you'll get ok results. If you want the real deal, get a bigger still (you can easily build one with a stock pot. Just a few words from someone that has been stillin for years. Stay safe...

I've tended bar for over 10 years and I would have difficulty lighting anything less that 80 proof liquor, and anything 100 proof or more (Bacardi 151) was ideal for lighting shots. I'd usually float a little 151 on top of a shot to light it, 151 was lighter than flavored liquors so it would rest easily on top of poured shots. So I'm going to guess that what you have is at least 80 proof, but I'd be surprised if it was only 80 proof. It's likely twice that, at least.

Make sure you dispose of the first shot glass that it produces. It has all the methanol and stuff that will make kill you or make you go blind.

-The purpose of this is to remove the water and make it more pure and stronger... ~complains about not being able to drink it -lol, either take a shot, or mix it with juice soda or coffee or.....

please tell me you did your homework because if that was the first bit out then that my friend is methanol the stuff that makes you blind

That's brandy. Now if you use corn mash, it's moonshine, aka White Lightning. Yes you can burn it, but your suppose to drink it. Then sing George Jones songs.

You can determine the Alcohol content/Proof using a Hydrometer. There are some fairly inexpensive ones available on amazon www.amazon.com/b/ref=dp_bc_4?ie=UTF8&node=393263011

When you buy alcohol in the store typically it's diluted with water. I don't think there's a magic trick to it, just dilute it with water to taste.

wait what... just drink the wine

I'd say use it as fuel for out door torch or something looks like itd burn for hrs

Since some kinds Wine are made from fruit, then distilling that product is Brandy. Wine made from Sugar cane and or Molasses ( a by-product of making Sugar ) and then distilled is Rum. Whiskey is generally made from Grain like Corn, Wheat, Oats etc. But Tequila is only made from Agave as far as I know and generally not an easy product to start with let alone readily available. Distilled spirits will burn a blue flame when it is at least 50% Alcohol.
